--fill out everything for each activity, but DON'T DO THE LAST PAGE. Focus on what changes/stays the same after each transformation, and in your definitions, be sure to discuss why rotations, reflections, and translations are considered rigid. Also, you needed to do lots of measurements--be sure to include what characteristics those measurements tell us about the transformations
Due Thursday, 11/6/14 zeta: Have the class #2 warm up completed. (The question: how many words would you speak on a 100 mile road trip?) Keep working on the mini POW and your Q1 self-assessment. AND: BRING YOUR MINI POW TO CLASS ON FRIDAY!!!
